\nToday we went out in the morning and in the afternoon hoping to see many species of cetaceans and\u2026 we did it!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn the morning tour we saw bottlenose dolphins<\/a> and common dolphins<\/a>. The bottlenose dolphins were spread out and travelling fast, we could see them playing with the waves. The common dolphins were calmer, travelling together in a group. Our boats for swimming with the dolphins were with them\u2026 they had a great time! One of our boats, the Song of whales, was lucky enough to see a group of beaked whales (most likely Sowerby’s beaked whales<\/a>). This was a very special sighting, beaked whales<\/a> are usually really shy with the boats and they are great divers, spending a lot of time under the water so we don\u2019t see them really often.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn the afternoon we saw the common<\/a> and the bottlenose dolphins<\/a> again but we had a new species for the list\u2026 Risso\u2019s dolphin<\/a>! It was a small pod with 5 individuals, all of them adults.  We could see them very well surfacing many times. The Risso\u2019s dolphins<\/a> with the age become paler (almost white) and they usually have many scars\u2026check the pictures below!<\/div>\n
